There’s too much rape culture enablement in the spiritual community.

You do not manifest abuse (see my latest blog post, link in bio).

Coercion is rape, not a “regrettable decision,” for the reason stated above.

Victim shaming masquerading as spiritual teaching needs to end.

Teach men to respect boundaries.

All or nothing is a lie. When it comes to social

All or nothing is a lie.

When it comes to social justice, I often see people take an all or nothing approach. "You must join us or else you're with them." Yes, in general, silence is complicity, but as with everything, there's always exceptions.

During racial justice conversations this summer, I saw some unnecessary and downright dangerous shaming happening. A mental health influencer I followed told her 60K Instagram followers that their mental health wasn't an excuse and if they had PTSD, they needed to suck it up. And she brands herself as Trauma-Informed.

A few years ago I had someone convey a similar message to me, when I was in the midst of an emotional breakdown/dissociative state where I could barely form a coherent sentence and spent most of the day laying in bed staring at the ceiling. I couldn't have formulated a complete thought on anything of significance if I wanted to. I was physiologically incapable and every ounce of mental energy was spent on holding myself together.

I see similar messaging now, around unity and empathy, as though the people who have been harmed, traumatized, and retraumatized these last four years and beyond can simply lay down their pain on a dime and hold hands with the people who've abused them.

Empathy isn't empathy if it doesn't extend to everyone.

We have to make room for the full complexity and range of the human experience. The whole point of existing within a collective is that we WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. That there are enough of us who are healthy fighting for the vulnerable that those in the collective who are vulnerable in other ways don't have to.

If your mental health is on the line, I don't expect you to join the conversation. I expect you to take care of yourself and do what's best for you. That’s the reason I’m able to join the conversation now.

If you're not yet ready to forgive, I don't expect you to. I expect you to honor your process.

We have to make room for each other. It's possible for us to collectively hold space for all of those experiences and still make progress.

Prematurely enlightened wellness influencers are l

Prematurely enlightened wellness influencers are legion, and they are harmful to the people who follow them.

I’ve known a few and observed a few. Here’s what I’ve learned:

You can always tell who these people are because their emotional immaturity still shows in their behavior, even if they’re packaging it as love and light.

Many of them engage in #spiritualbypassing as well as promote it as #wellness, most of them don’t have their shit together in their personal lives, but they’ll package it on social media as #livingmybestlife.

Your likes and follows are what feeds their #narcissism.

Hit ‘em where it really hurts. #unfollow when you spot red flags.

Everyone has heard of call out culture, and you’

Everyone has heard of call out culture, and you’re probably aware of the backlash and counter movement of “calling in” instead of calling out.

Some people think calling out is shaming, and therefore, invalid. Let’s clarify that shame is about who you are and guilt is about what you did. You can call out a person’s actions without shaming them as a bad person.

Shame and guilt are naturally occurring human emotions and as such, serve a purpose to motivate us to do better when it isn’t being used by an abuser as a tool to manipulate.

Using spiritual concepts to avoid guilt or sitting with shame is #spiritualbypassing and not confronting harmful messaging or behavior when you see it allows abusers to continue abusing.

It’s just as important to be aware of your own motivations for calling out. Are you doing it to shame, or are you doing it to protect the vulnerable by raising awareness?

This is #shadowwork .

It’s crazy out there, guys. Remember, you cannot control what goes on around you, but you can control what goes on within you and that is the greatest power any human being possesses.

The more you focus on uncertainty of the future, the more fearful and anxious you become. Stay rooted in the right now, right in front of you. Your family. Your home. Your work. Yourself.

Media speculation is only going to feed your fears, but it’s just that: speculation. Stay informed, but moderate your consumption.

Headlines are particularly loaded and divisive right now because we are in an election year. If you’re not learning anything new, then reading and sharing the news is only serving to reinforce your beliefs. Take a break. Take a breath. Let your mind be with things that bring you joy.

Stay focused. Stay present. Find your light.

Ash

If you’re not learning anything new, then reading and sharing the news is only serving to reinforce your beliefs. Take a break. Take a breath. Let your mind be with things that bring you joy. Stay focused. Stay present. Find your light.

How’s your #quarantine going?

It’s been up and down. Feeling a lot of fear and anxiety that eventually dissipates as I shift into a deeper layer of the “new normal.” I was meditating today and I heard/saw things that were distractions being removed “to get back to where we need to be.” That feels relevant both for me on a personal level as well as the collective. It was a moody week with all of the rain and the depression and the desire to retreat from the world. But the sun came out today and it was beautiful and I’m in a good mood for the first time in a while.

How about you?

I intend to do everything in my power to create the educational resources necessary for this process and to make the connections between what we do spiritually, as a community, and how it affects the world around us. I hope you'll do your part by learning and sharing. And also by unfollowing any problematic influencers in the wellness industry.

Edit: When I sent this out via email, I immediately had multiple people respond with, “What about Black Lives Matter and Antifa?”

What does Black Lives Matter and Antifa have to do with it? They aren’t running around fawning over a narcissist, praying for secret arrests and executions without a fair trial, living in a conspiratorial delusion, and attempting to overthrow the entire fucking system of democracy–in other words, exhibiting incredibly spiritually unwell behaviors–while simultaneously claiming to be spiritually enlightened.

Do you get it now? The problem is the climate that promoted these actions and that it’s being done in the name of spirituality by people who claim to be spiritual when it is the opposite of spirituality, not just the actions of people on the ground. Black Lives Matter and Antifa did not create a culture of spiritual bypassing so profound that its led millions of people into total a total delusional divergence from reality. Do you see the hypocrisy?

I’m white. Black people aren’t my community. I have no place to critique the actions of an oppressed people when I’m a part of the group that has oppressed them. I’m not a member of Antifa, either. I don’t have an audience with those people. But I am a member of the spiritual community, and when I see hypocrisy in my own community, you better fucking believe I’m going to say something.

I’ve always said that you can count on me to be the asshole that tells you need to hear and not what you want to hear.

There’s too much rape culture enablement in the spiritual community.

You do not manifest abuse (see my latest blog post, link in bio).

Coercion is rape, not a “regrettable decision,” for the reason stated above.

Victim shaming masquerading as spiritual teaching needs to end.

Teach men to respect boundaries.

All or nothing is a lie. When it comes to social

All or nothing is a lie.

When it comes to social justice, I often see people take an all or nothing approach. "You must join us or else you're with them." Yes, in general, silence is complicity, but as with everything, there's always exceptions.

During racial justice conversations this summer, I saw some unnecessary and downright dangerous shaming happening. A mental health influencer I followed told her 60K Instagram followers that their mental health wasn't an excuse and if they had PTSD, they needed to suck it up. And she brands herself as Trauma-Informed.

A few years ago I had someone convey a similar message to me, when I was in the midst of an emotional breakdown/dissociative state where I could barely form a coherent sentence and spent most of the day laying in bed staring at the ceiling. I couldn't have formulated a complete thought on anything of significance if I wanted to. I was physiologically incapable and every ounce of mental energy was spent on holding myself together.

I see similar messaging now, around unity and empathy, as though the people who have been harmed, traumatized, and retraumatized these last four years and beyond can simply lay down their pain on a dime and hold hands with the people who've abused them.

Empathy isn't empathy if it doesn't extend to everyone.

We have to make room for the full complexity and range of the human experience. The whole point of existing within a collective is that we WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. That there are enough of us who are healthy fighting for the vulnerable that those in the collective who are vulnerable in other ways don't have to.

If your mental health is on the line, I don't expect you to join the conversation. I expect you to take care of yourself and do what's best for you. That’s the reason I’m able to join the conversation now.

If you're not yet ready to forgive, I don't expect you to. I expect you to honor your process.

We have to make room for each other. It's possible for us to collectively hold space for all of those experiences and still make progress.

Prematurely enlightened wellness influencers are l

Prematurely enlightened wellness influencers are legion, and they are harmful to the people who follow them.

I’ve known a few and observed a few. Here’s what I’ve learned:

You can always tell who these people are because their emotional immaturity still shows in their behavior, even if they’re packaging it as love and light.

Many of them engage in #spiritualbypassing as well as promote it as #wellness, most of them don’t have their shit together in their personal lives, but they’ll package it on social media as #livingmybestlife.

Your likes and follows are what feeds their #narcissism.

Hit ‘em where it really hurts. #unfollow when you spot red flags.

Everyone has heard of call out culture, and you’

Everyone has heard of call out culture, and you’re probably aware of the backlash and counter movement of “calling in” instead of calling out.

Some people think calling out is shaming, and therefore, invalid. Let’s clarify that shame is about who you are and guilt is about what you did. You can call out a person’s actions without shaming them as a bad person.

Shame and guilt are naturally occurring human emotions and as such, serve a purpose to motivate us to do better when it isn’t being used by an abuser as a tool to manipulate.

Using spiritual concepts to avoid guilt or sitting with shame is #spiritualbypassing and not confronting harmful messaging or behavior when you see it allows abusers to continue abusing.

It’s just as important to be aware of your own motivations for calling out. Are you doing it to shame, or are you doing it to protect the vulnerable by raising awareness?

It’s crazy out there, guys. Remember, you cannot control what goes on around you, but you can control what goes on within you and that is the greatest power any human being possesses.

The more you focus on uncertainty of the future, the more fearful and anxious you become. Stay rooted in the right now, right in front of you. Your family. Your home. Your work. Yourself.

Media speculation is only going to feed your fears, but it’s just that: speculation. Stay informed, but moderate your consumption.

Headlines are particularly loaded and divisive right now because we are in an election year. If you’re not learning anything new, then reading and sharing the news is only serving to reinforce your beliefs. Take a break. Take a breath. Let your mind be with things that bring you joy.

Stay focused. Stay present. Find your light.

How’s your #quarantine going?

It’s been up and down. Feeling a lot of fear and anxiety that eventually dissipates as I shift into a deeper layer of the “new normal.” I was meditating today and I heard/saw things that were distractions being removed “to get back to where we need to be.” That feels relevant both for me on a personal level as well as the collective. It was a moody week with all of the rain and the depression and the desire to retreat from the world. But the sun came out today and it was beautiful and I’m in a good mood for the first time in a while.

How about you?

I intend to do everything in my power to create the educational resources necessary for this process and to make the connections between what we do spiritually, as a community, and how it affects the world around us. I hope you'll do your part by learning and sharing. And also by unfollowing any problematic influencers in the wellness industry.

Edit: When I sent this out via email, I immediately had multiple people respond with, “What about Black Lives Matter and Antifa?”

What does Black Lives Matter and Antifa have to do with it? They aren’t running around fawning over a narcissist, praying for secret arrests and executions without a fair trial, living in a conspiratorial delusion, and attempting to overthrow the entire fucking system of democracy–in other words, exhibiting incredibly spiritually unwell behaviors–while simultaneously claiming to be spiritually enlightened.

Do you get it now? The problem is the climate that promoted these actions and that it’s being done in the name of spirituality by people who claim to be spiritual when it is the opposite of spirituality, not just the actions of people on the ground. Black Lives Matter and Antifa did not create a culture of spiritual bypassing so profound that its led millions of people into total a total delusional divergence from reality. Do you see the hypocrisy?

I’m white. Black people aren’t my community. I have no place to critique the actions of an oppressed people when I’m a part of the group that has oppressed them. I’m not a member of Antifa, either. I don’t have an audience with those people. But I am a member of the spiritual community, and when I see hypocrisy in my own community, you better fucking believe I’m going to say something.

I’ve always said that you can count on me to be the asshole that tells you need to hear and not what you want to hear.

<img alt="I intend to do everything in my power to create the educational resources necessary for this process and to make the connections between what we do spiritually, as a community, and how it affects the world around us. I hope you'll do your part by learning and sharing. And also by unfollowing any problematic influencers in the wellness industry. Edit: When I sent this out via email, I immediately had multiple people respond with, “What about Black Lives Matter and Antifa?” What does Black Lives Matter and Antifa have to do with it? They aren’t running around fawning over a narcissist, praying for secret arrests and executions without a fair trial, living in a conspiratorial delusion, and attempting to overthrow the entire fucking system of democracy–in other words, exhibiting incredibly spiritually unwell behaviors–while simultaneously claiming to be spiritually enlightened. Do you get it now? The problem is the climate that promoted these actions and that it’s being done in the name of spirituality by people who claim to be spiritual when it is the opposite of spirituality, not just the actions of people on the ground. Black Lives Matter and Antifa did not create a culture of spiritual bypassing so profound that its led millions of people into total a total delusional divergence from reality. Do you see the hypocrisy? I’m white. Black people aren’t my community. I have no place to critique the actions of an oppressed people when I’m a part of the group that has oppressed them. I’m not a member of Antifa, either. I don’t have an audience with those people.
